IE8 RC1 Compatability?

Hi,

I am getting reports from users that Xinha in freezing in IE8 RC1.  I am unable to reproduce that but I have heard it from three different clients.  Has anyone else experienced that or know anything about it?

Thanks,

Re: IE8 RC1 Compatability?

I am now able to consistently reproduce the problem.  When displaying a Xinha edit box, if the page uses JavaScript to change the page in some way that causes the edit box to change size, Xinha gets into an infinate loop processing resize events.

Re: IE8 RC1 Compatability?

The problem is a change in the way IE8 handles onresize events.  You can work around this by generating an X-UA-Compatible header (or http-equiv meta tag) with "IE=7" to get IE7 rendering behavior out of IE8.  See http://alistapart.com/articles/beyonddoctype for more details.
